Hi I'd like to know how long does this work (meters? kilometers?).

[edit] New Very High Quality Picture
Hi, I added very high quality image that i just shot with my Canon EOS 30D. I hope you like the high details.
[edit] Russia
Is the use of PMR446 legal in Russia, or is there an equivalent for private persons to use (such as during a trip in wilderness without mobile telephony coverage)? -84.115.129.76 (talk) 15:54, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- The Russian Federation are currently evaluating PMR446, but as of this date it is currently illegal to use such equipment within their borders. 20.133.0.13 (talk) 10:18, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Digital PMR 446
Well? Is there or isn't there a digital mode? How widespread is it, which countries authorize it? It was hinted at in the article but in a very obscure way. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
[edit] N. AMerican ham use
It would seem unlikely that PMR446 HTs would be popular with North American ham operators, since they would not work with repeaters, have an unusual selection of fixed channels, they have a fixed antenna, rather low power compared to a ham HT, and a limited selection of accessories. Theoretically operable unde the amateur radio rules, but not common. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

PMR446 → PMR446 — This article is a duplicate, dPMR and PMR446. dPMR referred to here is simply a minor subset of dPMR radio called dPMR446. Vharywolf (talk) 10:47, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move
The problem is that if I search 'dPMR' if gives the PMR446 page? dPMR is not PMR446. There is a subset of dPMR called dPMR446 but dPMR itself need a much more complete explanation. dPMR should not re-direct here. --Vharywolf (talk) 12:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Usage worldwide
This statement was added by an IP editor, and reverted by a bot. It was unsourced, so I've moved it here for discussion:
- "In Italy you have to pay an annual fee of 12€ which allows you to use up to 15 PMR446 devices. "
What about licensing fees in this article, anyways? --Lexein (talk) 06:12, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Edit comments
You know, if someone had said "These channel spacings at 125 kHz, not 12.5 kHz, and we need an extra 0 in the frequencies", I wouldn't have reverted this so many times. Nearly always, unexplained number tweaks are vandalism - it really helps to leave an edit comment to explain your changes. --Wtshymanski (talk) 17:36, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
[edit] PMR and KDR
Why do Norway and Sweden have KDR 444 short-distance radio services, in addition to PMR? These are very similar to PMR 446 and seem to be unique to the Scandanavian penninsula. The Norwegian telecoms regulator says the bulletin for KDR 444 was issued in 2003, which must be after the establishment of PMR. Does anyone know why this additional service was needed? --Wtshymanski (talk) 21:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Few mistakes
PMR446 no longer requires a fixed antenna(in the uk at least). But the erp must not exceed 500mW.
Repeaters are indeed not allowed, but gateways are not ruled out(in the uk at least).
Handheld kit is not all thats allowed. There are desktop units such as the intec 5070

p.s This procedure is odd. Even now im not sure if I'm doing this right. What is wrong with a forum displayed in the usual manner.
- Citations for all this would be very helpful. The reason it doesn't work like a forum is because it's an encyclopedia, not a forum. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
